With some sunshine mid morning today but clouds starting to build up, I thought I'd have a quick walk around some of the sunny sheltered areas at Nethergong to see whether any dragonflies or damselflies were still on the wing. I spent an hour searching where I managed to find 4 Willow Emerald Damselfly and 2 Common Darter. I'm sure there would have been more to be found if I had longer to look. With some lovely autumnal colours now on the leaves, these made for a beautiful setting to the shots and some lovely backgrounds. It was slightly more awkward trying to get a clear shot without any foliage in the way but eventually it all come good. These Willows really are quite hardy given all the rain we have and if the weather allows, I'm sure they have a week or so in them yet. If they are to be the last ones I see this year (I hope not) then what a fitting end to their season seeing them posing in the sunshine with electric yellows, oranges and reds in the backgrounds.
Fabulous photos, Marc. The colours are gorgeous. Best wishes - - - - Richard

DeleteConsidering the weather Marc, your timing was superb. Take care, Mike.
ReplyDeleteFor once, the sun shone. Seems to be raining all the time at the moment. Nice to still get them on the wing. Take care.
DeleteHard to believe you saw these beauties, let alone got your excellent images Marc. Then you go on to say ' I'm sure they have a week or so in them yet'. As someone from here up'tnorth, I don't think I will even see another Common Darter this year.
ReplyDeleteRegards....Pete.
Many thanks Pete for your kind words. If we get a good week, something should be found at the weekend if I can get out at the right time. Fingers crossed. Take care.
DeleteI'm grateful for the positive change your blog has brought into my life.
